Following 167 people isn't a lot? Lol. Here's my Fediverse stats. 🤷♂️I'd say that if those people don't follow me back, that's not really my fault. As you can see, other platforms don't have this issue.

Not really, especially when they are mostly large accounts. Find people who react to notes you are interested in and follow them. Follow 500 plebs and you will have more engagement.
